Microfiction: Two Psychic Stories

 I was in bed late one night and for some reason, could not fall asleep. I have a deep fear of spiders, I mean really deep. I am laying in my bed when a frightening thought popped into my head. "A spider is going to fall from the ceiling." I frantically get up, turn on my lights, and start observing the ceiling but see nothing. Then I hear my mother scream and my father ask, "What is wrong?" She replies, "A spider just fell from the ceiling! I sat in shock.

One time I was dating a guy who had not met my parents yet. My parents were visiting me one weekend and I was excited to introduce him. I went to dinner with my parents one night and a scene popped into my head. In the scene I was in the parking lot next to my house with my parents and we ran into the man I was dating. I giggled and thought how funny. We left the restaurant and sure enough, I see him walking through the parking lot we were in.

Author's note: I did not have inspiration for these stories because they happened to me! Not in the same way I told them, my thoughts never came true but I did think, "How funny would it be if these things actually happened!" So I thought they would be perfect for little microfictions.

    Hey Jessica! I love stories about the supernatural or metaphysical, so your two psychic stories were very fun to read. I also have a very terrible fear of spiders. I once woke up with a huge spider crawling up my head board and I absolutely lost it. I cannot do spiders. Stories about premonitions are always so interesting. There is something about being able to predict or know what happens before it does. Very nice job!

    Hi Jessica! Cool story! One thing that I might encourage you to do is go through and re-read your story checking for verb tense. You switch a lot between past and present tense in you story (this is something that I also do all the time, hence why I am primed to check for it......). I think if you just change a couple of these verbs the story will flow much more smoothly!

Introduction to a dog lover without a plan

 I am a biology pre-med major and have recently decided that medical school is not the path I want to take. I stressed over not having a plan the entire first semester and missed a lot of opportunities in school, work, and experiences. I have finally realized that it is ok to not have a plan, especially in this point of my young life. There can be so much pressure on young people to have some sort of plan when in reality stressing over having a plan can distract people from enjoying all parts of life! Anyways, I am working on finding what I am passionate about and have realized I really enjoy wildlife, science, and making people happy. Another large part of my life was my dog Roxie, she passed away recently but she had a very long (18 yrs) and very happy life. I could always count on Roxie to make me feel better and to be trotting behind me everywhere I go. Her life story is pretty shocking because she went through so much but always came back stronger, so I will share some of her ...

Week 2 Story: Perception vs. Reality

 Ruby was a girl with a great life, she loved her family, school, friends, and boyfriend Lionel. Ruby had a very best friend named Callie, whom she shared everything with. One day at school, Ruby saw Lionel and Callie whispering and giggling with each other in the hallway. Ruby instantly thought that Callie was flirting with her boyfriend and filled with rage. For revenge, Ruby told everyone she knew that Callie was going after her boyfriend in attempt to make their peers judge Callie.  Callie returned to school the next day extremely confused why she was receiving glares from her peers and why she was avoided by everyone. She stopped someone in the hallway and asked what was going one. The student replied with "Everyone knows you've been flirting with your best friend's boyfriend, what a shady thing to do." Callie's heart immediately dropped to her stomach and could not figure out how this rumor started. The only thing she had discussed with Lionel were the plans...
